A suggestion:
"I have always been indifferent to social problems, merely using the
material that happened to be near, as a voluble diner pencils a street
corner on the table cloth or arranges a crum and two olives in a
diagrammatic position between menu and salt cellar." (the "Foreword," to
The Eye, p 8 in the Penguin ed.).
